My favorite thing about this book is the brilliance of the illustrations. For gouache, they are very sharp and defined.
I want to see the eBook version of this, because I think it would be very intriguing for students.

Nice little story of difference between playmates. A little too simple. And I didn't like the art much. But the concept was good and it definitely had a nice message that didn't hit too hard. 3.5 of 5.

Friends can come in all shapes and sizes--just ask Boy and Bot. This unlikely duo meet and have a grand time together until something goes wrong when Bot is rolling down the hill. Boy takes him home to help, but will he be able to nurse the robot back to health? Later, when Bot finds the boy has malfunctioned, will be able to repair the boy?
Boy + Bot (2012) by Ame Dyckman with illustrations by Dan Yaccarino is a delightful story that shows friendships can come in all shapes and sizes.
With sparse straightforward text, Dyckman tells a charming story of friendship (and robots). Yaccarino's brightly colored illustrations help the story off the page as Boy and Bot try to help each other with often humorous results.
With repeating text and large illustrations (not to mention the symmetry of the story) Boy + Bot is a great choice to read aloud. Sure to be enjoyed by readers young and old.
Possible Pairings: Little Beauty by Anthony Browne, Clink by Kelly DiPucchio and Matthew Myers, A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce, The Monsters' Monster by Patrick McDonnell, A Home for Bird by Phillip C. Stead

It’s hard to make and keep friends when you are so different. Great example of ego-centric thought processes in play. Darling.

Cute story for young readers. Boys will enjoy reading about the relationship between the young boy and his new friend, Bot. The boy and Bot take care of each other and enjoy playing together. The story is simple and easy to follow so even preschoolers will be able to make the connections between the boy and his friend, Bot.

A cute tale of friendship between a boy and a robot. In a show of kindness, each tries to "cure" each other - when the bot is accidentally turned off, and when the boy falls asleep.
